Israel is concerned with September Recognition of Palestine. Netanyahu is busy with the social justice movement that is springing in Israel, but that didn't stop him to dive into this file of recognition.
What is noticeable is that Israel had paid attention to the security aspect of these recognitions, taking the necessary procedures. The occupation army has studied the situation according to: the political and militants experts who expect the Palestinian areas to witness, on the ground of September recognition, stormy Palestinian popular movements which will lead to confrontation with the Israeli army. Thus, the Israeli army commands had taken a series of procedures, most importantly:
The prediction of the Palestinian stance: the enemy’s command foresees the explosion in the West Bank's situation at first. Thus, it called on the substitute generals to scout the neighboring cities and areas in where events will take place.
The enemy's commands don't roll out the extension of "violence" to Gaza, for that, it rushed to prepare "The Iron Dome" which is the Israeli missile weapon to counter the Palestinian rockets of resistance.
Also, the enemy's commands don't roll out the extension of events to the southern area (Galilee and its extension), thus, it deliberately started to prepare more tools and ways to counter these protests. In order to avoid another November 2000 events in solidarity with intifada in the occupied territories, and the martyrs of 48 region by the Israeli police.
The enemy's commands expect the worst case scenario, Israeli standards, but didn't ignore other possibilities such:
First possibility, betting that the Palestinian Police will address these protests and prevent it extension to conflict zones, like Qalandia's checkpoint or other checkpoints. But it doesn't imply to other zones like the separation wall.
Second possibility, posing political pressure and economic sanctions on the Palestinian authority. A dangerous possibility which will endanger the Palestinian authority and lead to its breakdown, according to some Israeli warnings. Ehud Barak, minister of defense, on top of the warning list, who see the breakdown of the authority leading to chaos in the occupied territories and to terminate this chaos requires military intervention, an expensive one, financially and humanitarian. And thus, he sees the pressure as mandatory, to a certain point to avoid it collapse, and the disintegration of apparatus.
The third possibility: the success of the international pressure (USA in the forefront) on the Palestinian authorities back into negotiations. Some Israeli's officials see that Netanyahu should offer "concession" to President Mahmoud Abbas, a partial freezing on settlements, for a limited period of time, which enable Abbas to enter negotiations “victorious" as a formality procedures in front of his citizen.
Israel, overwhelmed with September recognition, not with the situation of U.N, as it considers the battle of this recognition lays on Washington, and the decisive element is the happenings on the ground.
For Israel, the preparation for the upcoming September recognition resembles to war preparation. Winning this war opens the door to gaining a political war. It all goes back to essential geography, the plans of the enemy always are based on geographical control, and leaving the virtual world to others, to dive in.
